da Vinci®Single-Site® Surgery:
An Almost Scarless Procedure

One of the most important things to do before your hysterectomy is to learn about the types of surgeries available today. There are more ways to have your uterus removed than ever before.

If your doctor suggests a hysterectomy, the most common ways to remove your uterus are: open surgery and minimally invasive surgery (traditional laparoscopy or robotically-assisted da Vinci Surgery).

Why da Vinci Surgery?

When using da Vinci Single-Site* Surgery for benign conditions (not cancer), your surgeon operates through a small cut in your belly button*. Patients see almost scarless results, like single incision traditional laparoscopy.

*WHEN IS SINGLE-SITE TECHNOLOGY USED AND WHAT ARE THE RISKS?da Vinci Surgery with Single-Site® Instruments is cleared for use in gallbladder removal, and for hysterectomy and ovary removal for benign conditions. Patients who are not candidates for non-robotic minimally invasive surgery are also not candidates for da Vinci Surgery, including da Vinci Surgery with Single-Site Instruments. There may be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery, including Single-Site surgery with the da Vinci System.
